Livermorium: isolation

Isolation: results published on the 6th December 2000 concerning recent experiments at Dubna in Russia (involving workers from The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russian Federation; The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California, USA; The Research Institute of Atomic Reactors, Dimitrovgrad, Russian Federation; and The State Enterprise Electrohimpribor, Lesnoy, Russian Federation) describe the decay of the isotope 292Lv (produced in the reaction of 248Cm with 48Ca) to 292Fl.

24896Cm + 4820Ca → 292116Lv + 4 n

This decayed 47 milliseconds later as follows to a previously identified isotope of element 114, Fl.
